In ACPI we wait for system resume to complete and handle the notifications
then.  Calling .remove() callbacks from drivers during system resume doesn't
really work, especially if they happen too early (e.g. during the "noirq resume"
stage).

The driver's system resume callbacks need to be able to cope with
missing devices.
